In the description of a mathematical set, the term exclusive denotes that the endpoints of a range are not included within the set. For example, "the integers -2 to 2 exclusive" refers to the set {-1,0,1}; the endpoints, -2 and 2, are excluded. The term is generally applied to discrete elements.
In Boolean logic the exclusive oroperator refers to exclusive disjunction, which has a true value if either but not both arguments are true. Distinct from inclusive or (or simply or), which is true if either or both arguments are true.
In marketing, "exclusive" can refer to products that are only available from select distributors or retailers, and have never been released before, or only at a particular event.
In journalism, "exclusive" can refer to information provided to or available from only one news outlet, such as an interview or photograph.

Exclusive or (usual symbol XOR occasionally EOR), which is sometimes called exclusivedisjunction, is a logical operator that results in true if one of the operands, but not both of them, is true.
The exclusivedisjunction of propositions A and B is usually called A xor B, where "xor" stands for "exclusive or" and is pronounced "eks-or" or "zor".
Exclusive-or is sometimes used as a simple mixing function in cryptography, for example, with one-time pad or Feistel network systems.
"Exclusivedisjunction is the sense of the word or as in the proverb you can have your cake or eat it (but not both)."
which is not supported by the definition of exclusivedisjunction.
In other words, if the meaning in the proverb were really the exclusivedisjunction, it would follow that I had permission to take one of the two actions, but you wouldn't tell me which.
